check the connections on the rotating switch to turn the lights on/off. Might need a new one of those.

Fuse? I think the tail and dash lights are on the same circuit?

Almost definitely a blown fuse, but what caused it?

Have you recently replaced the radio?

yea def fuse
i popped about 4 of them because when i was putting the dash back together in the dark plugged the hazard switch into my foglamps (or vice versa) so it knocked everything out and coz i didnt noe wat did it at the time and it was still on the switch on position it repeat to pop them till i figured it out
